20 (or so) days left...

I don't have a lot to update on but I figure I need to blog more. I am still pregnant. I haven't taken any pictures recently because I keep thinking I am going to take actual planned and posed maternity pictures with my family soon, but it hasn't happened yet. I'm really hoping to do that before the baby comes so they are still technically considered 'maternity'.

Here's how I'm doing emotionally: fine-ish. I am pretty nervous and concerned about having two little babies to raise at the same time, but I'm sure it will be okay. Since I already did the newborn thing not too long ago, I can't really trick myself into thinking I'm going to get any sleep so that's something I am really  not looking forward to. Also Kailyn has recently been teething a ton and because of that, she has sort of been a monster. I am really hoping she grows out of that phase before the new baby comes or else I may go insane. If I have to nurse and hold a crying baby all night and then love and deal with a tantrum-y toddler all day by myself, I just don't know how I even could keep my sanity. Anyway, like I said, I'm a little concerned.

However, I'm also kind of excited. I would love to see what a second Garrett and Kasey Strong baby looks like. I'm hoping for a redhead and Garrett's hoping for a brunette. We both kind of think she will have the same color hair as Kailyn though. I'm also really curious to see if she will be small like Kailyn, and to know what kind of personality she'll have. I'm sincerely praying that she's a much more easy-going newborn so I don't have to hold her every second of everyday because I feel like Kailyn is still not really out of that phase sometimes. And I don't know where I can find the room on my person to hold two babies at once. I don't know how people with multiples do it.

*Here's a little side note: Kailyn is typically an awesome sleeper. But with her molars coming in, she has had a lot harder time staying asleep because she just wakes up crying in pain. And when I started this post, Kailyn had been asleep in her crib for the night for about 30 mins. Now she is standing up crying. This has been her norm for the 8 or 9 days and I'm SO READY for her to feel better.*

Back to the excitement of a new baby. I'm also excited to have a tiny baby again. Tiny babies are adorable and it will be fun to have one again since Kailyn's like gigantic right now. Plus since I'm still sort of in baby mode, it will be nice to have another baby so close to the first because I won't have to switch modes very much and I still remember a lot about the newborn stage so that's nice too.

Anyway, we have less than 3 weeks till my due date. So it's possible and likely that the next post I make on here will be a birth story... But maybe I'll feel like posting again before that so don't hold me to it. K, well I'm gonna go decide what to do with my crying Kai and also fix some dinner. Peace out.
